The invention of the treadmill, in my mind, is ranked almost as high as the invention of the wheel. What a genius idea to make a contraption that allows you to travel as far as you want without moving! Of course, only a certain population can appreciate them. But whether you walk, run, or trek it up the incline, it may get a little boring after a while. Instead of feeling like a giant mindless hamster on the treadmill, incorporate it into your strength training.
Walking and running are great for your cardio and legs. But if you’re not challenging your muscles with weight-bearing movements in your fitness routine, your legs may actually get weaker and prone to injury — despite your daily 6 mile runs. In my latest podcast, I show you some challenging ways to strengthen and tone your legs right on the treadmill. No more boring squats and lunges for you!

This is my solution for optimizing your arm workout in the quickest amount of time for the fastest results. The main muscle groups I target in this video are the arms aka biceps, triceps, and shoulders. Let’s face it, sexy arms in that wedding dress. The key is to use heavier weights and lower repetitions to muscle failure (i.e. until that uncomfortable burn doesn’t allow you to do anymore) to challenge the muscles. This is the only way to promote growth and tone up quick.

So, after showing you The Really, Really Good Arm Workout two months ago, I figured that you’d want to administer the same amount of awesome-ness to other muscle groups, right? So, I’m making it a series and continuing with this week’s podcast devoted to legs.
For most of us, our legs are what we depend on to get us around most of the day (unless you have a really helpful assistant willing to carry you to wherever you need to go. We can dream…) That said, I still can’t quite understand why people — guys and girls — feel the need to forget about strength-training them! Sure, you say that you run or rock-climb or walk three miles a day. But the only way to keep your legs injury-proof, strong, and toned is to condition the specific muscles that all work together that allow you to do your running, rock-climbing, and walking.
In this week’s Brides Made Fit podcast, I show you three compound leg movements that are sure to deliver the results you want (as long as you also keep up with your cardio and lay off the junk food — I always have to say it!) These movements are great for beginners all the way to the advanced.
The plie squat to calf raise activates the hamstrings, quadriceps, hips, glutes, and calves. Isolating the glutes and quadriceps to the point where you feel the burn is the alternating reverse lunge to squat. Pliometrics (jumping) is another unique way to challenge the muscles, and I show you through jump squats. All of these movements can be made more challenging by adding dumbbells or barbells.
